Composer of the Week

Orlande de Lassus (1532? - 1594)

Part Three

One of the many remarkable aspects of the work of Lassus was the range of the texts which he set, and in some cases, the radical nature of the music to which the composer set them. Donald Macleod and Jeremy Summerly continue their exploration of this unique composer with some of his most remarkable and richly coloured works.

It is preceded by Beethoven's accomplished work of a century earlier, also written for a skilled clarinettist - Trio for clarinet (or violin), cello and piano, Op 11, in B flat.

Presented by Sarah Walker.
